One of two HS.125s purchased by Qantas in 1966 for use as 707 crew trainers, with some basic modifications to emulate that aircraft. It has been gradually deteriorating at this small grass field for several decades, the private owner unprepared to sell or let a museum care for it.

In addition to widespread use by the RAAF, the RAN's 724 Sqdn operated 10 MB.326s in the 1970s, although remaining examples were transferred to the RAAF in 1983. This one became A9-077 but was restored to its Navy colours for display in 2009. Beautifully presented in what must be one of the best museums for photography I've visited worldwide - good light, well spaced and little clutter.

The real XG766 was indeed coded 808/NW in service with the RAN at Nowra between 1963 and 1970, but that aircraft eventually found its was to private buyer in South Africa via the UK. This is actually XG770, delivered to the RAN in 1959 and sold after service as 802/NW, 809/NW, 871/NW and 981/NW to a private individual who gifted it to the Australian War Memorial. However it never left Nowra and was later given to the Museum.

The real XG766 was indeed coded 808/NW in service with the RAN at Nowra between 1963 and 1970, but that aircraft eventually found its was to private buyer in South Africa via the UK. This is actually XG770, delivered to the RAN in 1959 and sold after service as 802/NW, 809/NW, 871/NW and 981/NW to a private individual who gifted it to the Australian War Memorial. However it never left Nowra and was later given to the Museum.

This is an ex-Royal Navy Firefly of 1950 vintage which was transferred to the RAN in 1953 by sea after refurbishing by Fairey. In 1961 it underwent conversion to TT.6 for target towing duties and was eventually allocated to the FAA Museum, where it was restored to flight in 1986 as VH-NVU and finished in a camouflage scheme. However engine problems meant that the RAN Historic Flight soon had to ground it.
